Kinda sucks because now you really have no control over who gets your data. No need to scrape pages or embed trackers when the fediverse just broadcasts your activity to anyone.
Even if your instance defederates from threads, doesn’t mean they defederated from yours, so anything you do is fair game for Meta’s data collection. That’s at least as I understand it.
Then why are you posting publicly on the internet? Anything you post here is fair game.
Also, Meta's data collection is from their own clients so they can target ads to you. This information is basically useless as you aren't on their platform so they cannot take sensitive data and cannot target ads at you
Honestly, I expected something like 80%. But progress is progress.
I'd like to join an instance that doesn't defederate from anything.
Perhaps we can have two separate fediverses going.
There would be little point being federated if instances couldn't choose how they set policies or moderate content. It doesn't stop an instance being 8kun if it wants but it doesn't mean the others have to accept that.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
